The firm has single clamp binders, a WB 2000 and Trident three-knife trimmer from the Welbound family. It has an array of sheetfed and web offset presses backed by decent pre-press and post-press operations.

"The initial focus of PrintWell was on textbook printing and the volumes offered by the Maharashtra state textbook corporation which helped them in their formative years. The printing was mainly performed on web offset machines and for bindery, it had two single clamp perfect binders from Welbound," said P Sajith, director for marketing and sales at Welbound Worldwide.

Back in the early 1990’s, there were barely any print industry in Aurangabad. Printwell International laid the foundation of a good print set up under the management of Suhas Kulkarni and Pradeep Shinde, directors of the firm. After this, other companies followed suit.

Sajith said: "Today, there are many print companies of varying sizes that have been established in Aurangabad thanks to the inspiration they have gained from Printwell."

Printwell caters to commercial print, educational publishing and local requirements of packaging. Recently, the firm has forayed into the international market by participating in book fairs.
